john mccain is on to something. there was a point in my life when i started palling around with a pretty ugly crowd. i've got to be honest. these guys were serious deadbeats. they were low lives. they were unrepentant. no good punks. that's right. i've been a member of the u.s. senate. some of the rumors out there are getting a bit crazy. fox news actually accused me of fathering two african-american children in wedlock. it is an honor to be here with al smith. i obviously never knew your great-grandfather, but from everything senator mccain has told me, the two of them had a great time together before prohibition. so. >> that was barack obama in 2008 at the al smith dinner which is happening tonight. right now about two blocks from here in new york city. we are waiting remarks from both mitt romney and president obama. and we are supposed to say that they are expected to be comedic remarks which i always thought was phrasing that could suck the life out of any joke. there's only one known instance at least that i k

he says, quote, think about john mccain, who obviously i have profound differences with. here's a guy who not only believed in climate change, but co-sponsored a cap and trade bill that got 43 votes in the senate, just a few years ago. somebody who thought banning torture was the right thing to do. somebody who co-sponsored immigration reform with ted kennedy. that's the most recent republican candidate for president, and that gives you some sense of how profoundly that party has shifted. and it's true. i mean, it's not only that republicans like richard nixon or ronald reagan would be way too liberal for the republican party of today, even the very last republican they just nominated for president in the last election is off the charts to the left of where you are allowed to be a republican as of now. that was a comprehensive immigration reform bill, a bill to reform the whole immigration system. for people who did not have the stomach to reform the whole system, republicans cooked up a much, much smaller bill, kind of a niche bill called the dream act, which just did th
